Lambeau Field's turf

The grass at Lambeau Field became famous in the 1967 NFL Championship Game, when the Packers beat the Cowboys in frigid conditions on what became known as the "Frozen Tundra."

Soldier Field's columns

The new Soldier Field is a lot different than the old stadium, but the builders kept the classic Doric columns outside. Just the image of the classic architecture brings back memories of all the classic Bears games at this historic site.

Cleveland Browns Stadium's Dawg Pound

The current version of the Pound is a bit tamer than the group that would throw things at opponents in the Browns' old Municipal Stadium. But the crazy bleacher section is still one of the most rabid areas in the NFL.
